Returning Home to Our Bodies with Abigail Rose Clarke05 nov. 202501:18:53

Abigail Rose Clarke is a somatic teacher and author whose work invites people back into honest relationship with their bodies, and the world around them. 

Abigail speaks about somatics in a way that’s refreshingly un-branded. She reminds us that the body isn’t a self-improvement project but a whole ecosystem that includes our relationships, histories, communities, and the ground beneath our feet. 

🌿 What We Talk About

🌱 Living in the Ecotone
Abigail’s discovery of the term ecotone—the meeting place between ecosystems—and how it mirrors the emotional edge where grief and joy can exist side by side.

💫 What Somatics Actually Means
Tracing the roots of the word “somatic” to its original sense of the whole body, and why reducing it to nervous-system regulation misses the point.

🌍 Gravity, Ease, and the Body’s Relationship to Earth
Abigail reframes gravity as an ongoing relationship rather than a force to resist, describing the relief that comes when we let ourselves be held.

🔥 When Wellness Becomes Another Job
A grounded critique of how capitalism turns embodiment into a product to be bought and sold—and what it might look like to reclaim our practices from that system.

💔 Grief, Pain, and the Ground That Holds Us
How the death of her longtime dog brought Abigail back to the simplest somatic truth: that the earth underneath us offers unconditional support when nothing else can.

🌸 G R O W L: A Simple Somatic Framework
Abigail’s approachable method—Ground (or Gravity), Relate, Observe, Widen, Love—offering a way to meet the body with curiosity rather than correction.

💍 Commitment Without Constriction
Reflections on her recent engagement and the ongoing experiment of how two people can choose each other while still allowing change, space, and evolution.

🌕 The Shape of Long-Term Love and Friendship
A re-imagining of commitment that values honesty and aliveness over longevity, and how the health of any bond depends on letting each person keep becoming.

Love is the Answer with Eduardo Rombauer29 oct. 202501:13:42

This week, Eva and Kyley sit down with Eduardo Rombauer, a Brazilian “soul scientist,” activist, and healer whose work begins and ends with love — not as an idea, but as a living force.

Once a political organizer trying to change the world from the outside, Eduardo now guides others in what he calls “the revolution of the heart.” He believes that love is both our original nature and our most advanced technology — and that remembering it is the real work of our time.

Eduardo’s work is about finding those barriers and learning to stay with them — not to remove them through force, but to soften them through acceptance.

What we cover in this episode 🌹

💗 Love beyond the mind: Why trying to define love keeps us from experiencing it — and how the intellect can never grasp what the heart already knows.

🌎 The soul as scientist: Eduardo’s evolution from politics to consciousness work, and how he now explores love through community, healing, and spiritual inquiry.

🧬 “To love is to unite without mixing.” How this one principle applies to everything from parenting and relationships to nations and the self.

👶 Parenthood as initiation: The way Eduardo’s daughter became his greatest mirror — helping him confront inherited anger, repair generational patterns, and rediscover tenderness.

🌑 Loving the “evil side”: What it means to include every shadow and contradiction within us, and why true self-love requires embracing what we’ve been taught to reject.

🕊️ From savior to servant: The humbling shift that comes from realizing you can’t rescue anyone — only walk beside them as they remember their own power.

🔥 Facing ridicule as a spiritual practice: Eduardo’s recent initiation into being seen, misunderstood, and still choosing love anyway.

💫 Mind in service of soul: A practice for using awareness as a bridge between intellect and intuition, reason and reverence.

Eduardo’s story is a reminder that love is not something we earn or achieve. It’s the material we’re made of.

Spiritual Labels in Real-Life Relationships22 oct. 202500:40:57

In this week’s listener Q&A, Eva and Kyley unpack a deceptively simple question:

"Do you resonate with the idea of “emotionally immature” people, or the framework of “old souls” vs “younger souls”? Sometimes these labels help me soften toward challenging people in my life (like parents, in-laws, or bosses). Other times, I worry they’re just ways to avoid looking at my own patterns.

So my bigger question is: when you’re in relationships that really test you, do you find frameworks like this useful? Or are they just the mind trying to control things?"

________________________________________

In this episode, we explore:

💭 When labels like “emotionally immature” or “narcissist” offer relief—and when they become crutches for self-protection or self-abandonment

🪞 The difference between using frameworks to understand others vs. using them to avoid your own patterns

🌗 Why discernment (not perfection) is the real skill of emotional and spiritual maturity

⚖️ How the “old soul / young soul” hierarchy can quietly feed superiority, ego, or even spiritual elitism

❤️ The power of dropping the story altogether - what happens when we meet people as they are, without a label or framework

💡 How anger, resentment, and cynicism can actually be doorways to deeper acceptance and peace

🌀 What it looks like to balance compassion with boundaries - especially in relationships that are less safe or still painful

🔥 The ongoing practice of holding paradox: seeing what’s true about someone and keeping your heart open

Joy & Grief in Resistance with Shahem15 oct. 202501:06:03

In this heart-opening conversation, we sit down with Shahem -  Black queer therapist, content creator, and community organizer whose work bridges grief, joy, and resistance. 

Together we explore how to grieve in a culture that doesn’t make space for loss, how joy can be a radical practice of survival, and how resistance can look like choosing authenticity when the world wants you numb. This episode is a reminder that balance is about staying connected to ourselves and each other through it all.

In this episode we explore:
✨ Grief as more than death—why losing a job, identity, or sense of autonomy deserves to be honored as loss
🌀 The three pillars of balance: grief, joy, and resistance—and how each keeps the others alive
❤️ How to actually grieve
💬 Men and emotional disconnection—what patriarchy steals from everyone, and why reclaiming tenderness is liberation
🔥 Resistance  as the everyday practice of showing up authentically”
🌈 Community as the antidote to despair—why healing, grieving, and joy all require other people
💡 “Not enoughness” as a tool of oppression—and how reclaiming your own enoughness becomes an act of defiance
🌻 Finding your role in the revolution—why balance means giving what you can, in the ways that are true to you

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, cynical, or unsure how to stay tender in the face of so much collective pain, let this conversation be a place to land.

Love Without Self-Abandonment with Susan V08 oct. 202501:22:52

In this episode, we sit down with Susan V, Eva's dear friend and facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, to discuss how to stay connected to yourself — in conflict, in love, and when you’re single.

They unpack how shame turns into perfectionism, how to take responsibility without collapsing into guilt, and making peace with being single. Susan shares how she released the idea that love would “save” her, and how that shift made space for her to stay connected to herself when she found herself in a loving relationship.  

This episode is for anyone who’s ever over-apologized, abandoned themselves for love, or struggled to stay true to themselves when things get messy.

We discuss:  

Being whole in relationship — How to be yourself while staying connected to others.

Accountability vs. shame — Taking responsibility for your impact without turning it into self-blame.

Perfectionism trap — How trying to “get it right” keeps you from experiencing fulfillment and safety

Singlehood & self-worth — Letting go of the idea that being single means you're unlovable  

Real love — Why healthy relationships come from wholeness, not from finally being “healed enough.”

About Susan:

Susan Vielguth is a Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, whose work is rooted in the liberation that comes from questioning our painful beliefs. You can learn more about Susan at theworkwithsusan.com.

How to surrender AND commit to your dreams!01 oct. 202501:25:20

In this week’s episode, we dig into the paradox at the heart of the spiritual path: how to surrender to life’s unfolding while still staying fiercely committed to your dreams.

This conversation was sparked by a listener question that felt so alive for both of us right now:

"Hello universe. I keep circling around the same dilemma. How do I balance surrender with my own will and desires? I have clear dreams for my life and business, and I feel called to pursue them, but how do I know when I'm gripping too tightly in control versus when I'm actually being asked to stay committed and persevered despite the obstacles? Sometimes devotion and discipline feel like the opposite of surrender. How do I weave them together? Signed God, take the wheel, but not my dreams."

We get real about:

  • The subtle difference between devotion and self-abandonment
  • Why “should” is almost always a red flag that you’re forcing
  • Learning to trust life moment by moment (even when things fall apart)
  • How attachment to a specific outcome often masks the deeper desire underneath
  • Finding the wisdom inside the “gripping” without bypassing or bulldozing over it

Along the way, you’ll hear stories about our own messy edges with business, health, parenting, and money—and how the practice of surrender meets the daily reality of deadlines, big goals, and longing for stability.

✨ If you’ve ever wondered how to trust life without losing sight of your dreams, this episode is for you.

How to Feel Empowered Instead of Hopeless24 sept. 202501:11:11

We’re back for Season 6 of Hello Universe! 🎉

We kick off this season with a listener question so many are asking: 

 ”Every time I open the news, I feel like I'm hit with another wave of heartbreak. Part of me wants to stay awake and engaged, but another part of me just feels so tired. But then I turn away to preserve my sense of self and protect joy, and I feel guilty and maybe irresponsible. How do you hold hope in a moment that feels so dark? How do I find the balance in a moment like this?”

Highlights

  • The “not enough monster” that latches onto everything—including activism.
  • Joy as resistance, and the radical practice of letting yourself feel good even when the world is on fire.
  • “Tend to your part of the garden”—why committing to your thread matters more than chasing all of them.
  • The difference between helplessness (grief that opens) and despair (grief that shuts down).
  • Why living in possibility is vulnerable work—and how to practice it every day.
  • Eva’s blunt question: “Are we evolving or regressing?” and the nuanced answers that follow.
  • The paradox of progress: letting go of the myth of linear evolution while still choosing trust.
  • Kyley on unworthiness as the invisible wall between us and love—and why believing we deserve better is collective sacred work.
  • The radical agency of choosing happiness, and why blame is a seductive detour away from accountability.

This episode is a balm for anyone who has felt the whiplash of living in a world of abundance and devastation at once. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt for feeling joy, or wondered if your thread really matters, we made this one for you.

Love and Limits with Melody Beattie27 août 202501:14:17

Melody Beatty wrote a number of really important books, including most famously Codependent No More, and she actually passed away in February of 2025, which makes this really moving interview so much sweeter. I am happy for you to get a chance to experience some of her warmth and honesty and courage.

Bestselling author Melody Beattie comes on the show to teach us about codependency, loving yourself more than others, setting limits, and generally being a badass.

EVA IS IN LOVE13 août 202501:37:03

In this deeply personal and vulnerable conversation, Eva is pulling back the curtain on her relationship with her partner, Tom, an incredibly special and unique human by all accounts.  He’s also the man she once had on a spiritual pedestal, who also happens to be 26 years older than her, a wildly private human. In other words… not your average “how we met” story.

In this conversation with Kyley, Eva spill’s on all the odd and beautiful circumstances that come with their love — from navigating projections (“isn’t that the cliché of the teacher dating the student?”) to dismantling conditioning about what’s “right,” to learning how to actually let ourselves be loved without condition.

It’s juicy, hilarious, and rooted in something much bigger than just romance: it’s about self-love, joy, and trusting life enough to let the good all the way in.

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • The meet-cute that took seven years — from a Costa Rica retreat crush to living together in a surf shack in Brazil
  • Love without conditions: how it feels to be in a partnership where both people are exploring whether there’s any limit to love or joy.
  • Pedestals are prisons: how putting someone “above” you is unkind to them and to yourself, and what happens when you smash the hierarchy.
  • Self-love as subtraction, not addition: letting go of self-condemnation, judgment, and the “I” story so Source can pour in.
  • Being willing to be disliked — and why your joy might be the medicine that irritates someone right into their own healing.
  • Living under the influence of good: the simple but terrifying practice of trusting life right now, in this moment.
Loving people, When it's Hard06 août 202501:35:12

This episode is an honest look at difficult relationships in all their paradoxical glory. It will touch anyone navigating complex family dynamics, caregiving, inner conflict, or the slow, radical return to self.

Eva opens up about the intense push-pull dynamic with her mother—someone who is mentally ill, disabled, and fiercely challenging, yet also one of the people she loves most in the world. From the tropical beauty of Brazil to the ancestral weight of being back in Taiwan, Eva unpacks the spiritual and emotional reckoning of caretaking, resentment, cultural expectations, mortality, and what love actually asks of us.

Kyley, ever the sorting hat of spiritual insight, helps organize the messy candy pile of emotion. Together, they navigate:

- How resentment isn’t your enemy, but your flashlight
- The difference between love with a story vs. love without one
- What it means to love yourself and someone else without abandoning either
- How sacrifice can either be sovereign or soul-squelching
- The unbearable tension between caregiving and freedom
- Why boundaries can sometimes become cold walls
- The danger of spiritual bypassing through over-intellectualizing pain
- The terrifying (and freeing) question: What if their life isn’t your responsibility?
“My needs are generous”—the new mantra for every recovering codependent 

By the end, Eva has a mic-drop moment of realization:  What if real love—capital L Love—is loving yourself without a story?

Sunsets in Life's Parking Lot with Diana Harper30 juil. 202501:29:36

One of Eva's favorite conversations from last year! We sat down with Diana Harper—relational astrologer, poet of the cosmos, and philosophical firestarter—to explore a radically different take on healing, belonging, and what it means to be in true relationship.

 

This isn’t a conversation about “doing the work” in isolation. It’s a remembrance of your interconnectedness with everything: your ancestors (yes, even the weird ones), your neighborhood spiders, the trees on your block, the grief in your belly, the granite boulders in your backyard.

We explore:

Diana’s definition of healing as “increasing the capacity to be in relationship”

The grief and rage of being severed from Indigeneity—and how that rupture underpins modern disconnection

The deep wisdom encoded in cities, sidewalks, vegetables, and purple carrot soup

How creature comforts like herbal tea can reveal our tenderest fears about worthiness and comfort

The devastating illusion of separateness—and how spiritual belonging doesn’t mean sameness

This episode will leave you soft, wrecked, held, inspired, and maybe a little furious at the Stanley Cup industrial complex.

Whether you’re crying in a grocery store parking lot at sunset or whispering thank-you to your morning tea (or giant granite boulder in your backyard), Diana reminds us: you are in relationship. You belong. You’ve always belonged.

You’re Going to Die with Ned Buskirk23 juil. 202501:34:34

This week, we’re bringing you a deeply real, wildly tender conversation with Ned Buskirk — founder of You’re Going to Die — an artist, grief guide, and all-around wise soul who is not afraid to look directly into the darkness… and still choose love.

Together we dive into:

How grief work can be healing — but also a sneaky trap for self-worth

The quiet ways life tries to harden us, and how to stay (or become) soft

Parenthood as a portal to awe, heartbreak, and presence

What it means to dissolve the ego and disappear into connection

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of this world — or confused about why you’re drawn to the darkness in the first place — this conversation will feel like a warm, unflinching hand on your shoulder.

Ned Buskirk is the Founder, Podcast Host, Facilitator, and Executive Director for You’re Going to Die [YG2D] – a 501(c)3 nonprofit bringing diverse communities creatively into the conversation of death and dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality.

How to Feel Safe and Loved with Amma Thanasanti16 juil. 202501:42:20

In this very special episode, we sit down with Eva’s personal mentor of two years, Amma Thanasanti. Formerly living as a fully ordained Buddhist nun for 28 years, today Amma guides others in the path of embodied awakening—bringing together deep meditation, nervous system repair, and attachment healing to help people feel truly safe, seen, and at home in themselves.

Through Amma’s stories—including an unbelievable near-death encounter with a bear—this conversation explores the ways early attachment wounds shape our nervous systems, how safety can be reclaimed through somatic practices, and how reimagining our origin stories can transform not only our minds, but our physiology.

This episode is less of an intellectual download and more of a transmission. If you’ve ever longed for deep connection, struggled with overwhelm, or felt like your nervous system was living in a permanent state of hypervigilance—this one is for you.

🌀 In this episode, we explore:
  • What real safety feels like in the body—and why many of us have never actually experienced it
  • How Amma re-imagined her origin story through “belly bonding” ceremonies with the Earth
  • The role of the pelvic floor in nervous system regulation, trauma, and embodiment
  • The three-pillar framework for attachment repair, developed by Dr. Dan Brown and David Elliott
  • The difference between telling yourself you’re safe and actually feeling it somatically
  • The subtle but profound impact of living with an insecure attachment style
  • Why some people retreat from relationships—not because they don’t want connection, but because their system is stuck in overprotection

 

Eva’s Epic Road Trip09 juil. 202501:01:51

Two years ago, Eva packed up her life in Portland, left a breakup in the rearview mirror, and hit the open road to start over in Austin, Texas… solo. What followed was an epic road trip, equal parts grief, healing, awe, and badassery. In this reissued episode, Eva shares the behind-the-scenes of that transitional season—one where everything was falling apart, and somehow also coming together better than she ever could’ve planned.

It’s summer. People are road-tripping. Maybe you’re also in a season of upheaval. Maybe you're grieving, starting over, or wondering if it's possible for life to get better than you imagined. Spoiler alert: it is.

This episode is your message from the future: you’re gonna be okay. Actually? Better than okay.

What we cover in this episode:

  • 😭 The messy, nonlinear reality of grief (and how Eva tried to "do it well")
  • 💔 Rage, sadness, and the surprise healing that comes from visiting an ex
  • 🧼 The difference between surviving grief vs. trying to control it
  • 🐍 Lessons from nature, the desert, and the wide open sky
  • 🔥 The secret catharsis of screaming and throwing rocks into water (yes, really)
  • 🌈 The beauty of trusting the in-between and letting arrival be just another beginning
  • 💡Why it's okay to romanticize a new life—and why it's also okay when it turns out to be messy AF
  • 💃🏼 The importance of place: finding the kind of land that makes you feel alive
  • 🤝 Friendship as medicine and why it's absolutely possible to make real friends as an adult

Anger that Is an invitation with Ellen Wong02 juil. 202501:29:41

What does it mean to hold the unbearable complexities of the world without shutting down or lashing out? 

In this rich, heartfelt conversation, Eva and Kyley sit down with Ellen Wong, entheogenic death companion and host of the Mum podcast, to explore how we can stay present with grief, righteous anger, and the impossible paradoxes of life.

Together, we grapple with questions like:

  • How do we show up when the world is on fire?
  • How do we stay human when social media, activism, and politics feel polarized and violent?
  • Is it possible to hold both fierce anger and deep compassion without collapsing into binaries?

Ellen shares her profound perspective as a death doula, inviting us to develop an intimate relationship with death—not just at the end of life, but in the countless transitions, identity shifts, and ego deaths we encounter along the way. The conversation weaves through themes of grief, cancel culture, safety, attachment, social justice, ancestral wounds, and the liberating power of surrender.

💥 Expect tears, belly laughs, and a radically honest look at what it means to be alive in these times

Spiritual FOMO with Kyley and Eva21 mai 202500:22:37

What if you don’t see anything when you meditate? What if your intuition doesn’t show up the way everyone says it’s supposed to?

This week, we answer a question from Spiritual FOMO—someone who’s craving a deeper connection to their intuition but feels stuck when it comes to visualization.Re: intuition.

If you’ve ever felt like the only one not “seeing things” during meditation or wondered whether you’re doing it wrong—you’re not alone.

Dear Eva and Kyley,

I keep hearing people talk about how powerful visualization is during meditation and manifestation—but honestly, I struggle with it so much.

When someone says “picture a golden light” or “see your higher self” my brain is just… blank.

It makes me feel like I’m doing it wrong. I want to connect more deeply to my intuition and spiritual practice, but I feel blocked. Is there something I can do to strengthen this muscle?

With love

Q&A- Can I truly love myself and still want to look hotter? with Kyley and Eva14 mai 202500:34:34

Can you truly love your body and still want to change it?

This week, we answer a listener question from someone who deeply loves herself… but also kinda wants to change it.

Does getting Botox or hitting the gym mean you’ve sold out your self-love? Is there room for both radical acceptance and the desire to feel even hotter?

We dig into vanity, desire, body politics, and why self-love doesn’t have to mean self-stagnation. 

Re: body image: 
Hi Eva and Kyley! I love your show and here’s my question: Can I truly love myself and still want to look hotter? Like, I do love myself. I’ve done a ton of inner work around body image, self-worth, and all that good stuff. But also… I still want to glow up. I want to feel sexier, maybe lose a little weight, and I think about getting botox… And sometimes I wonder—am I being vain? Or betraying the self-love I’ve worked so hard for? Does wanting to look better mean I don’t accept myself as I am? Or is it okay to want both—to radically love who I am and also still want to turn heads when I walk into a room? Help. I’m confused and also slightly overthinking this. 
Thanks, love you both! Signed, Hot & Healing

Astrology Isn’t the Boss of You with Sofia Adler07 mai 202501:13:08

What happens when astrology starts to feel like a rigid set of rules, instead of a tool for self-discovery? Sofia Adler joins us to talk about how astrology can create anxiety instead of insight, and how it can become a box we feel stuck inside, rather than a relationship to ourselves and the stars that we are living. Sofia also shares about her current work with Emotion Code and energy work, and how it’s changing everything for her. If you've ever felt afraid of Mercury Retrograde or trapped by your birth chart, this one's for you.

Is Eva Too Rigid? - With Kyley and Eva16 avr. 202500:58:39

This week, Eva brings a vulnerable and relatable truth to the table: she’s been struggling with the belief that she’s too rigid—too controlling, too particular, too unwilling to let go. Maybe you’ve had that inner voice too: Why can’t I just chill? Why do I care so much? Why can’t I just go with the flow like everyone else? But once we started pulling on that thread, things got interesting. This conversation is part therapy session, part spiritual detective work, and part reclaiming of the fiercely protective parts of ourselves. If you’ve ever been called “too much,” “too intense,” or “too uptight”… this one’s for you.

How to Feel Powerful - Part 2 with Kyley and Eva09 avr. 202501:15:13

This week, our conversation about power takes us on a wild ride. We explore:

• What we’re trying to be powerful about (and why)
• How real power feels in the body and heart
• Why power and surrender might actually be the same thing, or at the very least connected
• and what becomes possible when we stop grasping and start allowing

Plus: a fiery little detour into the systems of cruelty we’re witnessing in American politics, what it means to stay powerful living within them, and the difference between power and control.

This one surprised us. We hope it does the same for you.

How To Feel Pleasure with Kyley and Eva02 avr. 202501:12:51

Why does pleasure feel so scary sometimes?

Why do we crave it—and then push it away?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the paradox of pleasure: why it’s often the thing we most want and most resist. We explore how pleasure isn’t just about indulgence—it’s a spiritual practice, a doorway to presence, and even a tool for ego dissolution.

Some of the questions we ask:
• What does it really mean to let ourselves feel pleasure, instead of chasing it?
• Why might pleasure be the thing we’ve been looking for all along?
• What role does pleasure play in our spiritual journey?

If you’ve ever felt afraid to want too much, worried that joy might be selfish, or wondered whether you’re “allowed” to feel good—this episode is for you.

How to Feel Powerful - part I26 mars 202501:00:38

Power is complicated—often seeming like a thing people used to hurt others. 
But as we discover this week, the truth of power is, for Kyley & Eva, actually tied to silly fun and creative expression. 
How can we tell the difference and how can we step into power that is generous?

Spoiler alert: Kyley & Eva both cry by the end.
